Seven hours in Belgium

Filed under: Architecture, Culture, history — Shades @ 7:24 pm

 

Well, the Sky Broadband stopped working late on Friday night and it didn’t start again until the early hours of this morning, so it is a good job I went away for the weekend!

We spent seven hours in Bruges (or Brugge, as they call it) on Sunday, travelling overnight there and back on P&O North Sea Ferries. The weather disappointed a little as it drizzled some of the day, but the city did not. In that time, we visited the Belfry, the chocolate museum, the lamp museum, the Brugs Bier Festival and took a walk round the shopping areas, getting some Belgian chocolate to take back.

I looked for one photo to sum up the day and I chose this one- a pop up tableau chocolate box.

  1. It’s a magical place and of course North Sea Ferries is only 20 minutes drive away from me.

  2. Only one photo? Surely more to follow.

  3. Andrew, North Sea Ferries (as was) is a very convenient way to travel and I have done it many times on business and pleasure. It is only an hour from Morley but we hit the tush hour in Kingston coming back on a weekday morning of course. I keep meaning to write beforehand and ask to see the Engine Room. One day…

    JMB, more on the way, of course!
